Review originally posted on May 31, 2017 by Mandi. Shacking Up by Helena HuntingReleased: May 30, 2017Contemporary RomanceSwerve Two years ago I read Pucked by Helena Hunting and I liked it a lot – it really made me laugh. I think I read the follow-up to that book but have not tried her again until now. While Pucked is very over-the-top silly (I think the heroine puts a cape of the hero’s peen…if I remember correctly) Shacking Up is more sweet and low-key, with Continue Reading

Retro Review: All the Lies we tell by Megan Hart
Review originally posted May 8, 2017 by Mandi. All the Lies We Tell by Megan Hart (Quarry Road #1)Released: May 1, 2017Contemporary RomanceMontlake Megan Hart is an author I will always read. Even though All the Lies We Tell isn’t the most emotionally intense book by her, she still has a way of writing her main characters that allows the reader to have an intimate relationship with them. In this book, I’d say there are three main characters (maybe four) and we learn of their Continue Reading

I was kind of worried Continue Reading

Review originally posted April 5, 2018 by Mandi. Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone (Royals Undercover #1)Released: April 2, 2018Contemporary RomanceSelf Published I’m all about the royals these days and when I read this blurb, what stood out to me is the heroine is in charge of guarding the royals (aka the hero). This is a really cute, super sexy story and I definitely recommend it. But let me also tell you that it’s part one of a two-book series and it ends in a cliffhanger. The Continue Reading
